Chapter 714 : The Green Abyss Sword's Assurance

For the Eastern Sea Cultivation World [the vast cultivation realm centered around the Eastern Sea], this was an exceedingly rare and precious resource.

If they could seize the Blood God Sea Region [a territory long dominated by demonic blood cults], and fully assimilate these Spirit Island [islands rich in spiritual energy and resources], even if the Eastern Sea Cultivation World could not regain its peak strength, it would likely grow by at least twenty to thirty percent. No wonder these individuals felt such fervent excitement.

Seeing the battle fervor burning within everyone, Dorian, the Sage Lord smiled and waved his hand, signaling for the assembly to depart.

After the others had left, he kept Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang behind. Only then did he inquire, "Your journey was long. Did you encounter any significant troubles along the way?"

"We faced no major obstacles," Eldrin Chen replied calmly before asking, "Are there any particular points of caution for this coming battle?"

Hearing this, Dorian, the Sage Lord countered with a question of his own instead of answering. "Did you bring the Green Abyss Sword [a legendary enchanted blade of immense power]?"

"Naturally, I carry it with me,"

Eldrin Chen affirmed with a slight nod and a smile.

A faint smile touched Dorian, the Sage Lord's lips upon hearing this. "Then that is sufficient."

"Then my mind is at ease." Original publication: audio-novel[dot]com - The source of this chapter.

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this, then took his leave from Lyra Jiang.

After the two had departed, Vast Sea Dao Lord furrowed his brow and said, "This time, we have borrowed the Sea Pavilion World-Suppressing Ship [a legendary vessel capable of pacifying turbulent seas], so we are fully confident in dealing with the Blood God Sea Region. The Horizon Sea Pavilion should also be sufficient to suppress the Heavenly Demon Sea Region."

"However, we still do not know the stance of those five Nascent Soul Demon Progenitor [ancient demonic beasts who have cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm]. Are you certain of a complete victory?"

Upon hearing this, Dorian Ji also frowned slightly. The power of the Demonic Tribe [a coalition of demonic races and beasts] within the Eastern Sea Cultivation World was formidable and truly not to be underestimated.

Among the Eastern Sea demon progenitors, there were precisely five Nascent Soul Demon Progenitor: the Black Tortoise Demon Progenitor, the Frost Drake Demon Progenitor, the Soaring Serpent Demon Progenitor, and the two progenitors of the Golden-Winged Roc lineage.

Among these five progenitors, the Black Tortoise Demon Progenitor was the most powerful and the longest-lived.

This Black Tortoise Demon Progenitor ranked among the top five figures within the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and highest stage of a cultivator's being] ranks of the Purple Realm Demonic Tribe. It was said that in its early years, it dwelled within the Northern Abyssal Sea of the Extreme Northern Ice Plains, where it was known as the North Abyss Demon Progenitor.

However, when the Roc Clan rose to power in the Extreme Northern Ice Plains, the Great Sage Peng proclaimed himself the foremost Great Sage of the Purple Realm Demonic Tribe, with several demon progenitors under his command. Naturally, the Black Tortoise Demon Progenitor was no match for such a force.

Coincidentally, at that time, the Eastern Wasteland Azure Dragon, the foremost figure of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World Demonic Tribe, had been slain by Jiang the Sovereign Emperor. Thus, the Black Tortoise Demon Progenitor chose to travel far to the Eastern Sea Cultivation World and seized the territory once held by the Azure Dragon Demon Progenitor.

The other demon progenitors were also formidable. The Frost Drake Demon Progenitor possessed the bloodline of a True Dragon [a pure and immensely powerful dragon lineage], while the Soaring Serpent was a rare Myth [legendary and monstrous] variant. The two Golden-Winged Roc progenitors also boasted exceptionally pure bloodlines. In short, not a single one among them was an easy foe.

Should those five Demon Progenitor [the supreme ancestral beings of a demonic race] take action, it would likely drastically alter the balance of this war.

With this thought, Dorian Ji's brow furrowed slightly in concern. After a long moment of contemplation, he said, "That Black Tortoise Demon Progenitor has lived for one hundred seventy thousand years and long ago cultivated to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection [the absolute pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm].

Over these one hundred seventy millennia, more than a dozen beings have ascended to immortality before its very eyes, yet it has never been moved to act. It is highly probable it will not intervene this time either."

"Among the remaining four Demon Progenitors, the Tengshe Demon Emperor is the most formidable. However, I have enlisted Longgu the Daoist to deal with it. As for the two Demon Emperor [rulers of demonic races, one rank below Progenitor] of the Golden-Winged Roc, they will be handled by Brother Seawatcher from the Horizon Sea Pavilion and the Star River Dao Lord from the Inner Sea."

Hearing this, Wavestrider Dao Lord gave a nod.

The Horizon Sea Pavilion boasts two Dao Lord [a title for powerful cultivators who have comprehended a profound Dao]. Besides its master, Seawatcher Dao Lord is no easy opponent. The Star River Dao Lord is the lord of the Lin Clan, the dominant power within the Inner Sea's Cultivation World [the realm where cultivators reside and pursue their path].

Considering this, he asked again, "That Frost Drake Demon Progenitor possesses True Dragon [the purest and most powerful lineage of dragon-kind] bloodline and has cultivated to the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer. It will surely be a troublesome foe. How do you plan to contend with it?"

Unexpectedly, upon mentioning the Frost Drake Demon Progenitor, Dorian Ji's expression turned slightly awkward.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke evasively, "Set your mind at ease. That Frost Drake Demon Progenitor is of little concern. I have my own means to secure victory."

Vast Sea Dao Lord was taken aback. He hadn't expected Dorian Ji to keep secrets even from him, given their relationship. He could only shake his head and say, "It seems you have reasons you cannot speak of."

"Very well. You have always been resourceful; I trust you have your own plans."

Early the next morning, the great army advanced deep into the Blood God Sea Region.

With the Sixth-Rank Pure Yang Treasure Ship leading the way, the Demonic Cultivator-occupied Spirit Islands along the path dared not offer resistance and were swiftly eradicated one by one.

In merely three years of this campaign, they led their forces to conquer several dozen Demonic Cultivator Spirit Islands and laid siege to Blood God Island, one of the three great Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Lands of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

"Dorian Ji, you wretched wave-strider, you've done well for yourselves!"

At that moment, a cold sneer echoed from within the island. Experience the full epic at https://audio-novel.com.

The Blood God Ancient Ancestor appeared atop Blood God Island, his face ashen with fury.

Seeing the Blood God Ancient Ancestor appear, before Dorian Ji could speak, the Vast Sea Dao Lord sneered and declared, "The last time we met, I told you I would return in a Millennium to claim your head. Today, this lord has arrived!"

"With just the likes of you?"

The Blood God Elder Fiend let out a contemptuous sneer, his voice dripping with scorn.

The enmity of obstructing one's Dao path and the hatred of seizing one's spiritual veins—even setting aside the conflict between the righteous and the demonic factions—could never be settled amicably. Thus, this battle naturally left no room for peaceful negotiation.

At the command of Dorian Ji, over a hundred Treasure Ship [enchanted vessels used for transport and combat] began a relentless assault on the Blood God Sea Region, depleting the spiritual energy reserves within the islands.

Eldrin Chen followed amidst the throng, continuously driving the two Treasure Ship of his clan to drain the spiritual energy from Blood God Island.

However, the power contained within a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein [a natural conduit of concentrated spiritual energy] was truly astonishing. Even after more than ten days of consecutive bombardment by over a hundred Fifth Rank Treasure Boat, the island's defensive barrier showed not the slightest sign of weakening.

"This Spirit Island not only possesses a Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, but is also the site of the Eastern Sea Water Essence Ancestral Vein [a primordial source of Water Element spiritual essence]. Continuing like this, I fear we will never breach its defenses."

High above in the void, Dorian Ji naturally saw this even more clearly. He nodded to Vast Sea Dao Lord and declared, "The time has come."

As Dorian Ji steeled his resolve, he produced an ancient Treasure Talisman [a powerful, single-use enchanted seal] brimming with profound and archaic power, and hurled it down upon Blood God Island.

As this Treasure Talisman descended, the entire Blood God Island shook violently, mountains trembling and the earth quaking. The power of the entire Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array] was instantly suppressed by half.

"A Sixth Rank High-Grade Formation-Breaking Talisman!"

In that instant, Blood God Ancient Ancestor's countenance changed drastically, a flicker of panic crossing his features.

Only a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the advanced stage of spiritual core development] can craft such an item, and it requires the consumption of exceedingly precious materials.

In all the world, there likely exist no more than ten of these artifacts. Their value is comparable to a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade artifact infused with pure Yang energy]. It is astonishing that Dorian Ji used one so decisively.

The Mountain Guardian Grand Formation [a grand defensive array] protecting Blood God Island is of the Sixth Rank [a rank denoting immense power] Mid-Grade. However, with its power diminished by half, its efficacy was drastically weakened.

Seizing the moment, Vast Sea Dao Lord [a Dao Lord of the vast seas] made his move. He channeled energy into the offensive Formation [magical array] aboard the Sea Pavilion World-Suppressing Ship [a legendary ship capable of suppressing worlds] and unleashed a world-shaking strike.

The Sea Pavilion World-Suppressing Ship, a supreme war treasure designed for assaulting Spirit Mountain [a mountain imbued with potent spiritual energy], when powered to its full capacity, can unleash force rivaling that of a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage cultivator. The Mountain Guardian Grand Formation of Blood God Island simply could not withstand it.

After three consecutive, earth-shattering blows landed, the Mountain Guardian Grand Formation guarding Blood God Island was finally torn asunder. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel.com.
